To avoid the crowded lunchtime, I visited around 2 PM. Even during this time, the restaurant was fully booked. I waited for about 10 minutes before entering the store.
While waiting, I ordered the "Grilled Shime Saba and Tuna in Two Colors, Harada Dondly" (1,370 yen). I sat down at a counter seat where someone guided me through the order process, and I waited for the harada dondly.
On the tray placed on the Oban, there are grilled sea scallops, hidahatte clams, green onions toro, and salmon arranged in a mountain-like display.
The grilled sazame is cut into thick slices. It lacks a strong sour taste, but it has an excellent fat content. The hapuri has a subtle sweetness and umami flavor. The monjuriboto has a mild, satisfying taste with a lean middle part. The negenitoro has a lot of oil, giving it a slightly oily texture.
Since this was originally a sushi restaurant, plenty of vinegar rice was used in the meals. The ingredients were abundant, with a large quantity of seafood, making it very satisfying and offering excellent cost-effectiveness. It was a delicious seafood dilled that filled the stomach completely.
It's been a long time since I've visited this restaurant. It was a place that had an endless queue, as featured on TV. But recently, it seems to have calmed down. When I went there on a weekday around 2 PM, I was able to enter without having to wait.
I sat at the counter and looked at the menu posted on the wall. There were too many options, so I was confused about which one to choose. In the end, I ordered "Crab, sweet ebi, red ebi daging" (1,089 yen).
In the donburi, sweet shrimp, crab meat, red shrimp, and other ingredients are neatly arranged, leaving the rice largely uncovered.
The sweet shrimp is small in size but has a rich sweetness. The crab meat has a slight watery taste, yet it still retains the deliciousness of a real crab. The red shrimp is finely cut, and its tender texture makes it a perfect match with vinegar rice.
This restaurant was originally a sushi shop. By combining vinegar rice, it is called "Seafood Sushin Dajion" rather than "Seafood Donburi."
The menu is extremely diverse, including seasonal limited items. The prices range from 648 yen to 2,246 yen. There are also additional toppings available, so you can choose the menu according to your mood and budget. This is a great feature.
Every time it appears on TV, there are long queues forming at this restaurant. So if you plan to visit, now might be a good time to go, as the place is quite calm right now.
This restaurant used to mainly serve takeout sushi, not seafood dals. The prices were low, and the ingredients were large and delicious, which made it a popular choice for me.
Now, the variety of seafood dals has increased, making it a restaurant with never-ending queues. I had grown somewhat indifferent to having to queue, so I decided to visit again after a long time.
It's a weekday, yet as usual, there are about 6 people waiting in front of the restaurant. They look at the menu photos posted in front of the store and then wait for about 15 minutes before entering.
I ordered Nige Toro Salmon Dinner (500 yen, tax excluded) plus a larger portion option (30 yen, tax excluded).
Looking at the brought-over dōmen, I was shocked‼︎
The serving dish is a large tea bowl, but it is filled with green onions toro and salmon that are so tightly packed in vinegar that they seem to be about to overflow. This is a dish that I have only seen in manga illustrations.
I struggle with how to eat so that there isn’t an overflow of ingredients, but I continue to eat the vinegar rice along with the other dishes.
サーモンの肉厚はそれほどでもありませんが、脂の質は非常に良いです。ネギトロは少し脂っこさを感じますが、価格に見合った以上の美味しさがあります。
For this price, with such a generous portion and outstanding cost-performance ratio, I was absolutely satisfied.
Indeed, many restaurants in Yama are known for their excellent value for money.
